They actually are the symbols of the workers and do belong to the descriptions.
It’s just that many bad actors have and are trying to steal the symbols, such as the Soviet Union and China. Those have no correlation with leftism but people associate them to the symbols
Same response as a “Swastika is just a sun symbol”
A symbol can change meaning depending on history.
Hammer and sickle is the symbol of oppression, suffering, dictatorship, imperialism and inequality, and it’s meaning is influenced by the actions of soviet union and china.
Wow, imagine thinking you’re so important, that people take time of their day to organise to organise downvoting some rando opinion, on a network that has no karma.
Delusional.
Easy to explain shitty opinions by crying “brigaded”.
Equivalent to “fake news”.
I’ve experienced communism first-hand. I don’t need some rando’s with marx pp opinion on it, nor do I need to “do my own research”.
I stand by what I said.

Lol.
All of these, at the expense of different people that are deemed worthy of the oppression.
Bc reasons obviously.
Landlords are deemed worthy of oppression because they decide to let people die in the streets for their ideology. So yes, reasons.
-Genocide
+deportation
Ordered by Stalin, leader of the Communist Party.
“ThAt wAs nOt rEaL CoMmUnIsM” – Delusional Americans who think communism is like a vacation in a Turkish hotel.

The amount of times I’ve been called a communist irl because

I exist…

I didn’t say against that. The fascist powers have made their mark on the symbols that is true. As I said, it is what people associate.
Do swastikas, hammers, stars etc. have positive meanings originally? Yes
Have fascist dictatorships ussd those symbols with horrible atrocities in the past and even today? Yes
Do people generally associate the latter? Yes
why is this getting downvoted??
I’m usually brigaded by fascist-minded and reactionary accounts
Not allowed to call out dictatorships

This will make its way to the right wing circles and get passed around unironically.
Wait till someone says “you know that pic is ironic, right?” and the right-wings are surprised
WTF is this? People finding their way from lemmingrad here?
We were here long before you showed up kiddo.
Be careful, your child may start to take extremist actions with their fellow lefties such as:
This would be even more effective without the hammer/sickle graphic. 🖖🏻
It wouldn’t be.
While I’m here:
Also while you are here, read theory.

You’d have a lot of others standing with you.
If communism didn’t kill more people than any other government scheme in history.
You’re not the only one who’s experienced communism, and not everybody who experienced communism is a capitalist scumbag.
Some of us experienced 2 communist regimes and wouldn’t want to go for the hat trick…
Frankly, nobody cares about what you want.
And why should anyone care what you want? 🤡
You’re the one moaning about communism here, not me buddy. Get yourself ready for round three because it’s happening.
I’ll take social libertarianism over communism but that’s just me.
Ah yea, using the sickle and hammer to get your point across.
Delusional.
why would you expose yourself like that
One minor ammendment for me - I wish for equality of opportunity, not equality of outcome. Anyone else?
